Customised forms

I'm learning this package to help my partner in his business and have had no previous experience with MYOB. I have a fantastic person helping me during this process.

Before the upgrade I was able to go in and edit a customised form. Now when I go into Setup, Customised Form and click on my customised form I want I get an X next to it saying delete form and no other options - pathetic. I don't want to delete the form I want to make a change. There is no other option apart from a useless arrow on the right-hand side which when clicked does nothing.

How can I edit this already saved customised form???? I do not want to delete it!!!! I have attached a document showing my predicament. Also how can I print preview this form to see what it looks like when there is no option on that page?

Re: Customised forms

Sorry again Alan, how do I now assign that customised form to the remittance payment? I'm not getting the customised form I did when I go into Print Preview Remittance Advice. There is no option to choose it - which I do get an option of which form I want to print when printing an invoice.

Re: Customised forms

When previewing or printing a remittance advice via the Spend Money window the transaction will always use the default form. However it will use the customise form when printing the remittance advice using the Banking>>Print/Email Remittance Advice window (provided its been set in the Advance filters window as the defualt form).

Hi Steven

Sorry I've been away for work and haven't done any book work for Territory Fixing.

Unfortunately that hasn't helped me at all. I have selected the customised form in the Advanced filter and I've gone to Print Remittance Advice (both via the printer and pdf) and I'm still getting the default!

Re: Customised forms

Just to confirm what exact window are you printing the remittance advice from i.e. you are doing it directly from the Spend Money window using the Print button OR going to the Banking>>Print/Email Remittances Advice window>>Ticking the transaction and printing/emailing it from there?

If you are directly doing it from the Spend Money window i.e. selecting the Print option this will generate the 'sytem' default form. However if you go to the Print/Email Remittance Advice window it should be using the appropriate form set in the selected form for remittance advice listed in the Advance Filters window - which is generally the customise form and set by the user.

So if you have a customise remittance advice form and you want to print using that form do make sure that you go to the Banking>>Print/Email Remittance Advice window and tick the relevant transactions and select to print from within this window. This is oppose to going into the transaction i.e. Spend Money window to print it.

Hi Steven

I can confirm I am going through the Banking Print/Email Remittance Advices.

I have set the customised form in the advanced field.

When I click on the above I have a list of clients I wish to send a remittance advice. I select the client. Clicking on File/Print doesn't work, so I'm then opening client and the details. From there I'm using the Print button and selecting the Print Remittance Advice and print to a pdf (I've even just printed it on the printer). The Please Wait bar comes up and keeps on doing nothing. Unfortunately I'm still getting the MYOB default form.

Once I exit from their the client I tried to remit has now gone from the list.

So what am I doing wrong or why isn't it picking up my customised form?
